Premier League.
Owen Hargreaves comes on as a substitute for a record 23rd
occasion. Peter Crouch is the ninth player to have scored two goals as
a substitute. The third time substitutes have scored in consecutive
matches. |

Match Report
(Mike Payne's exclusive report coming shortly) |
England's World Cup preparations continued with a 3-1 win over Hungary.
Steven Gerrard and John Terry both headed home free-kicks from David
Beckham in the space of four minutes early in the second half. Pal
Dardai pulled a goal back with a brilliant long-range shot before Peter
Crouch's excellent low strike late on. Theo Walcott came on to
become England's youngest ever international, while in the first half
Gabor Kiraly saved a penalty from Frank Lampard.
Sven-Göran Eriksson had promised that the line-up for
this match would start against Paraguay in England's opening World Cup
match.
Gerrard played as the advanced midfielder,
supporting Michael Owen, while Jamie Carragher played as a holding
midfield role with Beckham, Lampard and Joe Cole across the middle of
the park. And England almost scored within a minute of deploying
their new formation but Terry could not keep his header on target after
connecting with a Beckham corner.
The home team dominated possession, pressing
and probing, while full-backs Ashley Cole and Gary Neville looked to
push forward and provide width as often as possible. But England's
midfield took time to adjust to their new shape and the next serious
attempt at goal came from Szabolcs Huszti, who shot wide of Paul
Robinson's goal from 20 yards after 22 minutes. And the Old
Trafford crowd, far from capacity, had little to cheer before the game
exploded into life five minutes before the break.
Kiraly made a point-blank save, parrying Owen's
header after the striker connected with Beckham's cross. Seconds
later the keeper dived low to his right to save Lampard's penalty after
Csaba Feher was harshly adjudged to have brought down Gerrard.
Owen might have scored with the rebound but his header clipped the
crossbar. Joe Cole then made a superbly-timed run across the
Hungary defence and appeared to have deftly headed England ahead from
Beckham's superb cross but the ball hit the post and was cleared by
Laszlo Eger.
Gerrard, wearing the number nine shirt, put
England ahead two minutes after the restart. Beckham had supplied the
cross for Gerrard's goal with a free-kick - and it was with another
dead-ball delivery from the skipper that Terry headed his first goal for
England after 51 minutes.
Dardai's curling strike reduced Hungary's
deficit - and banished any notion of a second-half rout. Neville
had been replaced by Owen Hargreaves at the break, the defender
complaining of a tight hamstring, but the more significant introduction
was that of Walcott after 65 minutes. At 17 years and 75 days
Walcott, who has yet to play for Arsenal in the Premiership, became
England's youngest full international. Eger almost equalised with
a long-range strike that Robinson superbly saved.
But the final goal came from Crouch, whose neat
turn and shot from the edge of the box was followed by an 80s
robotics-style celebration. - BBC Sport
